我的 TensorFlow 梯度下降发散

Question

import tensorflow as tf
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

def normalize(data):
    return data - np.min(data) / np.max(data) - np.min(data)

df = pd.read_csv('sat.csv', skipinitialspace=True)
x_reading = df['reading_score']
x_math = df['math_score']
x_reading, x_math = np.array(x_reading[df.reading_score != 's']), np.array(x_math[df.math_score != 's'])

x_data = normalize(np.float32(np.array([x_reading, x_math])))

y_writing = df[['writing_score']]
y_data = normalize(np.float32(np.array(y_writing[df.writing_score != 's'])))

W = tf.Variable(tf.random_uniform([1, 2], -.5, .5)) #float32
b = tf.Variable(tf.ones([1]))
y = tf.matmul(W, x_data) + b

loss = tf.reduce_mean(tf.square(y - y_data.T))
optimizer = tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer(0.005)
train = optimizer.minimize(loss)

init = tf.initialize_all_variables()

with tf.Session() as sess:
    sess.run(init)

    for step in range(1000):
        sess.run(train)
        print step, sess.run(W), sess.run(b), sess.run(loss)

这是我的代码。我的 sat.csv 包含 SAT 阅读、写作和数学成绩的数据。您可以猜到，这些功能之间的差异并不大。

这是 sat.csv 的一部分。

02M047,47 THE AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE AND ENGLISH SECONDARY SCHOOL,16,395,400,387

我只使用了数学、写作和阅读分数。如果我给出数学和阅读分数，我对上面代码的目标是预测写作分数。

我从未见过 Tensorflow 的梯度下降模型与如此简单的数据发生分歧。有什么问题吗？

Answer 1

以下是您可以尝试的几个选项：

标准化您的输入和输出数据
为您的权重设置较小的初始值
使用较低的学习率
将您的损失除以您拥有的样本数量（不将数据放在占位符中已经不常见）。

让我知道这些选项有什么帮助（如果有的话），祝你好运！
